This scene is too far gone to expect a message of peace to reach the top charts
We are a giant divided by fear forged knives in the fires of our pride
We can't grow until we dethrone all of the emptiness

Gentlemen! Gentlemen!
Your brawn will not be measured by the stiffness of your cap
Gentlemen! Gentlemen!
The statements on your knuckles don't make you the man

You say "I'm sick, I'm so sick"
But then bandage with a soiled tune and revel in the stench
"I'm sick, I'm so sick"
But you bandage with a soiled tune and leave us singing...

I'll seek the end, I'll seek it 'til the end
Not of life, but the ignorance poisoning our limbs

I'll seek the end, I'll seek it 'til the end
Not of life, but the ignorance poisoning our limbs

Now ladies, are you listening?
How many artificial layers do you need to feel secure
Ladies, ladies!
How many opposing choices will you make against your worth all for attention?

Cause it's cut you deep
You are no more the face you paint than the muscles beneath skin
You are no more the muscles than the bones beneath them

Ladies and gentlemen
May I ask you one last thing before the beginning?
Will you ever be an audience that sees all the sick and empty lies you've been feeding

You got something to say?
Then spit it out right now in front of all the fakes
Drop out of the masquerade and wear you own name

The time has come for a revolution
When your drive surpasses your body's reach
You could be everything you've ever wanted
Marry your skin to steel to see what I mean

Step right up and read all about it
There's a new contender in town
In the air there's a stir
With a hopefulness about it
And I'm starting to think it could be my out

Have I not suffered
Have I not endured long enough
Could it be you're really helping me
It's about damn time you showed mercy

I have this dream every night I see
The world below passing quietly
I'm lifted up through the cloudy peaks
'Til I'm up so high
I can barely...

Well this has got to be everything you wanted
This has got to be everything you've waited for
The cost is cheap to see
These dreams achieve fruition
After all the world
Has laughed at your ambition

No longer hooked in a maze
With the shadows of my dreams
But am I looking away in the shallow end of these
Now I want the world to see
I can forever be
What wasn't there for me
Fill the field and fly away

I have this dream every night I see
The world below passing quietly
I'm lifted up through the cloudy peaks
'Til I'm up so high
I can barely breathe

Well this has got to be everything you wanted
This has got to be everything you've waited for
The cost is cheap to see
These dreams achieve fruition
After all the world
Has laughed at your ambition

This has got to be everything I wanted
This has got to be everything I've waited for
The cost is cheap to see
These dreams achieve fruition
After all the world
Has laughed at my ambition

I vow to fill my grave with a life not wasted
I am a storm that's grown in the winds of woe
I built these wings with bones
That broke on the grounds of weakness
I am a Phoenix reborn!

This is a life time of chances
You'd kill for any one of them
Now you hold the keys
But can you kill enough to keep them
The choice is yours
Don't lose sight don't sell short
The dream you set before
This is what you were made for

Open your eyes to a new sun
Embrace the fire, never give it up
Stretch out the wings you long for and soar
Like no one's ever seen before

Sit back and watch me
I'm gonna make you proud
I'll be the spear that pins the cowards down
Just give me a target
Just give me that green light
I'll bring down everything to see it's smite

'Cause I!
I am!
Death from above!
Remember my name!
I!
I am!
Death from above!
The sky is opening up!

Open your eyes to a new sun
Embrace the fire, never give it up
Stretch out the wings you long for and soar
Like no one's ever seen before

These eyes alive
Dilating for the very first time
Alive

I!
I am!
Death from above!
Remember my name!
I!
I am!
Death from above!
The sky is opening up!

Could it be the dream was meant to deceive,
When everything in me
Bought that happiness would follow it's lead
If only I believed?
And now the choice is mine to let it die and hope I rise again
'Cause reveries of flight only left me questioning.

This was everything I wanted
And I can't believe I'm giving it up.
This was everything I waited for,
But this armor doesn't shine anymore.
The brightest sword sees no war,
Though broken, my blood is warm.
There's got to be something more.

Heavy hands holding the burden of change,
The only cost is pain.
The return is never promised in gain.
It's time for the blind to find their way.
And now the choice is mine to let it die and hope that I rise again.
'Cause reveries of flight only left me questioning.
